Okay, so I literally just scrolled up and down the page randomly until i happened to click something with my eyes closed because everything seriously looked so awesome to read, and I really just couldn't decide. But I am definitely not disappointed one bit in my chancy risk I just took!

I don't think I have ever read or even heard of a story about Augustus. And this just blew me away.
You were so insightful on a character we honestly didn't know really much about, but you brought him to life beautifully. This was such a well portrayed character, it makes me believe that you have JK's notes or something on her characters.

I really didn't quite know where you were going with this one-shot at first, but I was pleasantly surprise with the change of heart there at the end. It was a huge turning point and just played out wonderfully. I thought the internal argument with himself was just wonderfully executed, and just monumental in the storyline.

I loved also the time and setting. A New Years Eve party was a fabulous choice in a way to host this story in, and just really made for the leading scenes.

I thought this was just a fantastic one-shot, I don't have anything bad or even neutral things to say, because it was honestly just great, and I don't think I could have chosen a better story for a swap!

Thanks a billion!(:

Author's Response: I love your selection methodology! I don't know if I could randomly pick a story from someone's page - I'm glad you weren't disappointed by your choice though!

Well, WTM said this was a rather unique story so I'm going to take her word for it. :D It took me a long time to bring him to life. I think I got him in a challenge in October and started writing this just a few days before it was due. I really had to dig deep for him so it's great that it paid off. I wish I had JK's notes on characters!!

The first half of the story is a bit free floating in terms of direction. His change of heart (while momentary) was a result of all the flirting and fun he had with Bagman and a moment of selfless thought.

The NYE setting helped me think of the plot, actually. It was really the setting that helped me pick a plot. My first idea (before the duel was announced) was to have him chatting someone up for information at some random place. So glad I got the NYE idea to solidify it.

Thank you so much for such a glowing review! I am so glad it was a worthwhile read!
